I do want to say this as i find this quite funny, yet interesting. when the PS3 and Wii launched. the PS2 had sold 120 million units, the GC about 25 mil and the XBOX 23 mil. That's roughly 170 million units ofr last gen. Yet I see people predicting 150 mil for the Wii, 80 Mil for the PS3 and 40-50 mil for the 360. thats like almost doubling last gen in growth. Folks if this gen sells 200-210 mil consoles, it would be considered an extremely healthy growth. I am just pointing this out to show where I think peoples thinking in regards to this ganeration in sales is a tad bit skewed.

well from my perspective the video gaming market has to be growing. The Last wedding I went to ( I have a fairly huge family) many of my cousins and aunts and uncles talked about getting Wiis for the children or grandchildren. I think the total consoles sales just to my family stands at 14 Wiis, 2 Xbox 360s, and 3 PS3s. a big majority of the Wiis were going to people who had never owned a videogame console before or had never considered getting a video game console before.  So from at least my perspective the Wii is generating sales to a lot of newcomers that will hopefully stay with video game console for a long time.
